Hong Kong Democrat Camp Primary Elections kick off


People vote inside a temporary polling station set up by a yellow economy restaurant during an unofficial primary election, organised by pro-democracy opposition parties to select favored candidates for the upcoming legislative election, in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, China, on Saturday (July 11). Primary organisers are hoping to get at least 170,000 people to take part in the vote on Saturday and Sunday and select candidates from each district to run in September's Legislative Council election. - Bloomberg

HONG KONG (July 11) dpa: District-wide democrat camp primary elections are set to take place Saturday district-wide, where registered voters will select the strongest candidates to run for seats in Hong Kong's official parliamentary elections in September.

The elections, will run over the weekend and are organised by the group Power for Democracy, were thrown into question on Friday after a co-organiser responsible for polling, Public Opinion Research Institute (PORI), was raided by police, who told dpa they are still investigating the case.
